THE THUNDA DOWN UNDER 2015 MOTOR ORDER IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY! 10% DISCOUNT!

Between now and Friday 12 December 2014, use the coupon code THUNDA to receive 10% discount on motors for the launch. This special discount is ONLY available to motors for ARTDU2015.

At the checkout, there is a special shipping option for delivery of the motors to the launch site.

For international participants, the Australian Dollar is currently weak, which means further savings for you! As everything at Australian Rocketry is charged in AUD, paying through PayPal with your native currency should give you better prices. Couple that with some of the tax advantages and you could save up to 40% on the total cost.

If you haven’t yet registered, don’t wait any longer as the price is about to increase. We announced at the start of registrations that it will incrementally increase starting on the first of December, however for an additional 48 hours only, we will keep the price as is.

We have just received word that one of the hotels is now fully booked. If you are planning on staying in the luxury of four brick walls, it is highly recommended to organise this sooner rather than later.

Please tell us about the project eg. why are you building it?, what do you hope to achieve (speed, height, size, enter competition, certification etc.)?, have there been any challenges or highlights to the preparation? What payloads (if any) are you carrying (cameras, electronics etc.)

This is my first attempt at a L3 certification flight. The whole build has been a challenge as I’m firmly of the belief that a L3 certification attempt should be as close to 100% scratch built as possible (or, if an individual achieves a successful L3 certification on a 80% or more scratch built rocket, then they should have a L3a ranking).

Recovery will be via drogue at apogee (drogue backup at apogee + 2 sec) and main at 1,200’ (main backup at 1,00’, the heights will decrease over successful flights), drogue chute is a Drogue LOC Angel, main chute is a 2XL LOC Angel.

What are you most looking forward to seeing or participating in at Thunda Down Under 2015?

Launching HPR rockets with like minded people, seeing how they do it offshore, as I can not afford to travel to LDRS or BALLS. Catching up with what I now deem to be my friends.
